Daniel Richter is a Canadian singer, songwriter and worship leader whose musical journey has led him from mainstream music to leading worship and writing Christ-centred songs, teaching him obedience and submission along the way.

Once the lead singer of Eleven Past One, a pop band signed to Warner Music Canada, the group found success in 2013 with The World Is Ours, a single that topped Canadian charts and amassed millions of streams.

But success wasn't enough to silence a deeper calling.

“God got ahold of me,” Daniel said. After almost releasing a solo single to mainstream radio, he felt convicted to surrender his selfish desires and follow God's path instead.

"It was about time," he said. “I couldn’t run from this calling anymore.” Choosing obedience over ambition, Daniel laid down his previous career focus and picked up a new purpose: creating music that speaks the name of Jesus.

Now stepping fully into the world of Contemporary Christian Music, Daniel is preparing to release a three-song EP themed around light and transformation. Influenced by artists like Phil Wickham, Brandon Lake, and Christ Brown from Elevation. It's Daniel's prayer that these songs will bless people by hearing them on Christian radio and singing them in churches.

Having grown up in church and now serving as a worship leader and music director in his hometown, Daniel brings both musical skill and spiritual depth to every track.

“Before, I was obsessed with downloads and numbers,” he said. “Now, I’m just trying to be faithful with what God’s given me. If even one person is impacted, that’s enough.”

With a fresh sound, a surrendered heart, and a powerful testimony of obedience, Daniel Richter is a Christian artist to watch in this new chapter.
